	Author	Review
United States	Daniel D'Addario Variety	"While 'Castle Rock' does a fair amount right, it’s ultimately a letdown precisely because of how much it uses its setting (...) to communicate a sense of creeping dread without really doing the work."	NEU
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"Offering countless references and digressions and themes to amuse and entertain devotees of the Master of Horror, but lacking in the broader storytelling spine necessary to establish its own identity"	NEU
United States	Kristen Baldwin Entertainment Weekly	"'Castle Rock' is a creepy and captivating expansion of the Stephen King universe (...) Holland is excellent as Henry"	POS
United States	Merrill Barr Forbes	"If you are a fan of [King's] work, this a series for you (...) What is up for debate is whether or not the series plays to those not deeply versed in all things King."	NEU
United States	Ben Travers IndieWire	"Excellent (...) Devotees should be pleased as much as those who’ve never picked up one of the King of horror’s weighty tomes"	POS
United States	David Griffin IGN	"[A] tense, haunting, and surprisingly funny slice of creepy small-town America (...) 'Castle Rock' builds a fascinating world"	POS
United States	Scott Meslow GQ	"[It] stirs a dozen of your favorite Stephen King stories into a single, intoxicating blend"	POS
Canada	Kevin Yeoman Screen Rant	"'Castle Rock' is a King lovers’ dream (...) But the series comes up short when it’s time to ascribe meaning or importance to the many allusions to King's work"	NEU
